Isn't Ms. Sanger a heroine to the proponents of PP? She is one of the primary reasons that PP is a viable institute even though some of her reasons for promoting contraception were suspect. She was a believer in eugenics and felt that there were some classes of people who were unfit to procreate. She was an advocate of forced sterilization among other methods.
It is interesting that even she was opposed to abortion as she considered it the taking of a life. I believe that many abortion supporters do not believe it is a life and use this belief to justify an abortion or abortions. The crux of the debate is really whether the child in the womb is a human life form and has rights. One has to deny it is a human life in order to take away its right to life.
